Crankcase Ventilation System, Function - GF01.20-P-0001MRG

Engine 264.9 in model 213, 238, 257 

up to model year 2021 

Function requirements, general 

IMPORTANT The ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) detects the engine running via the evaluation of the crankshaft Hall sensor signals (B70). The ME-SFI [ME] control unit directly reads in the signals of the crankshaft Hall sensor.

Crankcase ventilation system, general 

The crankcase ventilation system ensures in all engine operating conditions that overpressure and excess gases are removed from the crankcase. These are supplied again to the engine for combustion via the intake air system. To balance out the pressure ratio, a separate line is attached for engine ventilation.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit evaluates the following signals for the implementation of the crankcase ventilation system:

Crankcase ventilation system 

In the partial load range, ventilation takes place starting from the oil separator (1) to the charge-air distributor (2). For this purpose, the partial-load operation crankcase ventilation valve (Y58/2) is located in the partial-load bleed line (3).

The valve is actuated in overrun mode by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and closes the partial-load bleed line (3) from the oil separator (1) to the charge-air distributor (2).

The inflow of exhaust from the crankcase during the mixture adaptation and disruptive background noise are thus avoided. No actuation from the ME-SFI [ME] control unit takes place if the valve is permanently open.

In full-load operation, ventilation takes place starting from the timing case to the exhaust gas turbocharger.
